I have not had only 1 memory stick in a computer myself but I've heard several instances of frostbite engine powered games where 1 memory stick can cause lower than expected performance.

Yes...several times...using the control panel I uninstalled each nvidia driver then I tried downloading the driver through geforce experience and nvidia site...I also made a fresh installation of windows every time I bought a new piece of hardware.
